  • As a Christian, I would believe that even a clone would have an individual soul, because it is put into the person by God. Besides, even though the clone is a genetic copy, it is not the same person as its donor, as it will have a different environment. It is, in effect, an identical twin, born many years after.
  • No way. If there IS such a thing as a soul, you wouldn't be able to clone it, it would be Spirit.
  • Great question Sub..LOL, I do not think they would have a soul and that science will find that to be the hurdle they can not cross.
  • "Christian have views of cloning which are diverse and often conflicting. Roman Catholicism and other Christian denominations believe that the soul enters the body at the moment of conception when the sperm and egg unite. They feel harvesting cells for embryonic cloning is tantamount to live human experimentation and contrary to God's will. Further, they maintain producing cloned zygotes that are unlikely to survive is tantamount to murder. Some Christian conservatives express concern that cloned embryos would have no soul, since it was, in their view, born outside of God's parameters. (Even though some believe Eve was a clone of Adam via Genesis 2:22. Then the Lord God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.) Other Christian traditions like the United Church of Christ do not believe a fertilized ovum constitutes a person. They believe that cloning can be conducted ethically in order to help treat disease and improve the public health." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_cloning I think that clones as they are made nowadays are just copies of humans and have a soul just like twins have.
  • No such thing as a soul.......
